Copper replacement
SOGEA
SOGEA delivers broadband without the need for a traditional phone line and is often used where businesses need a simpler replacement for older FTTC-based services.
- Suitable for general business broadband use
- Can support smaller offices and straightforward setups
- Often used as part of a staged connectivity refresh
Legacy access
SoADSL
SoADSL may still be relevant in some areas where full fibre and higher-performance alternatives are not yet available, although many organisations will now prefer more modern access options.
- May suit some lower-demand sites
- Can be relevant in harder-to-serve areas
- Usually reviewed against better available alternatives
Fibre to cabinet
FTTC
FTTC can still provide a workable business broadband option in some locations, though many businesses are now moving toward SOGEA, FTTP or dedicated circuits where greater performance is required.
- Can support standard office connectivity needs
- Availability varies by site
- Often compared against newer fibre options
Full fibre
FTTP
FTTP provides full fibre connectivity to the premises and is often a strong option where businesses want higher speeds, more consistent performance and a future-ready access method.
- Strong option for cloud and collaboration workloads
- Supports growing bandwidth demands
- Often attractive for modern office environments
Dedicated access
Leased lines
Leased lines offer dedicated connectivity with stronger performance, service assurance and resilience for businesses that rely heavily on uptime, cloud access, voice quality or multi-site operations.
- Suitable for higher-demand or business-critical environments
- Dedicated bandwidth and stronger service assurance
- Often used for headquarters, data-heavy sites and key branches
Resilience
Backup and multi-path connectivity
Many organisations benefit from a backup circuit, diverse access type or failover design that reduces downtime risk and helps critical services stay available if the primary connection is disrupted.
- Supports continuity planning
- Useful for voice, cloud and customer-facing services
- Can combine primary and secondary access types
